I have always liked BMW’s cars and bikes and ever since I saw Mark van der Kwaaks’s CAD Bike 33, I have wanted to do one of my own. So I bought this beautifully restored 1982 R80 on Ebay and have now pulled it apart ready to customise!
BMW Bike No.7
March 11th, 2010
Othello Tracker Bike No.5
February 6th, 2010
Ok – at last its finished and its a subtle variation on the last bike. A slightly longer frame, thinner rear wheel, different bars and pipes, and of course a radical paint job – ‘Chaos is come again”. As before the rest is a stock 2009 HD Streetbob, with 23″ wheels and a hardtail frame.
Bike No.6 FXD Cafe Racer
January 8th, 2010

November 2nd, 2009
